Evidence?

RE: Evidence?
(September 30, 2009 at 3:10 pm)solarwave Wrote: Avoiding the question or what by some of you Wink

Saying things like 'The burden of proof is on you' simply side steps the question. I know its me who needs to give a reason but that doesn't mean you can't answer what that proof might look like to you.

Also lot of people said 'There can be no proof for God's existance'. Doesn't that leave your position unverifiable and unfalsifiable? Isn't like saying, 'This is what I think and theres no possible way I could be wrong'. I dunno, just seems a bit fishy to me.

Thanks to those who did answer though summed up as prayer studies and miracles.

No, it's stating fact. If I claimed there is absolutely no god, could you prove me wrong? You can't and further more it would be down to me to prove it but since I'm not claiming there is no god but instead rejecting the claim that you make.

Quote:I know its me who needs to give a reason but that doesn't mean you can't answer what that proof might look like to you.
I cannot say what evidence if there can be no evidence! I cannot say what kind of physical evidence if god is not physical. It's beyond my ability and everyone else's on this planet. God is non-temporal and so is beyond any possible physical study-able/measurable evidence. Do you get it now? I'm not evading your question. I'm giving you a direct answer.

Tell me something. How can anyone prove a non-temporal beings existence? Answer that one for us.

Quote:'There can be no proof for God's existance'.
That's right. There can be no proof of his existence. The problem with making a god completely impossible to disprove, it makes it completely impossible to prove as well. Try disprove the god thor. Bet you can't.

Quote: Doesn't that leave your position unverifiable and unfalsifiable?
Wrong again. The atheistic position is one of disbelief. It does not require any real reason. Though most atheists tend to have a reason and quite often it's due to lack of evidence. What evidence do you have to say there is a god?

Quote:Isn't like saying, 'This is what I think and there's no possible way I could be wrong'.
Nope, not at all. I don't say that and I don't think anyone else here does. Remember, lack of belief. We don't assume 100% certainty that there is no god. It's simply rejection/dismissal.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
